Work in the Medical Field?

Before you begin a medical procedure and extend them financing, be more informed about your patient’s financial situation. It may help in mitigating the risk of late payments and possible need for collections later on.

Experian Connect will let you quickly view the credit report and score of your patients, at no charge, when purchased by your patients. After your patient grants you access to view their report and score, you can be sure you are seeing their information directly from the credit bureau and not from a scanned copy or print out.

You will be able to quickly view your patient's credit report and score. This may eliminate manual paperwork and save you time – you may be able to make smart decisions faster.

Experian Credit Report and Score

What is a credit report?

A credit report is a snapshot of your patient's experience with credit-related accounts. Aside from some basic personal information, like their name and address to help identify their report, there are three main types of information on their credit report:

Public Records: Court-related information, including bankruptcies, state and county court records, tax liens, monetary judgments and, in some states, overdue child support payments.

Credit Inquiries: Names of businesses or individuals that have obtained a copy of your credit report, including lenders, landlords, and employers.

Accounts: Payment history on all your Real Estate, Installment, and Revolving Credit Accounts.

What is a credit score?

A credit score is a number based on the information in your patient's credit report. It is similar to a grade you would have received in school, but instead of right and wrong answers, their credit score is based on positive and negative credit history. Paying bills on time and using credit responsibly builds a positive history while paying bills late and being irresponsible with credit builds a negative history.

There are many different ways to calculate a credit score. Experian Connect uses the VantageScore® calculation with the Experian credit report. VantageScore was developed by the three national credit reporting companies — Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. Unlike other scoring systems, it is the most consistent score using only one model with one set of scoring calculations, resulting in scores that are more uniform and consistent.

How is the score determined?

Developers of credit scoring models review a selection of consumers — often more than one million. The historical credit profiles of these consumers are examined to identify common variables. The developers then build statistical models by selecting the credit variables most predictive of future behavior and assigning appropriate weights to each variable. The score is influenced by the following factors:

VantageScore Explained

VantageScore is based on the traditional A, B, C, D and F rating scale. All credit scores are measured in a numeric range — from 501 to 990. When you view your patient's VantageScore, you are able to easily see and understand where your patient stands.
